The examples of my prof were way more basic: It's fine that they didn't know the term panic attack, but they should be able to know how fear feels. The person in my example said they started so sweat, had high heart…
Good points! The research and practical experience for many of these aspects is already there, though mostly only in the context of therapy, i.e. in cases where people already experience problems to a degree that it…
>But when you say the US is "exceptionally violent" that is indeed what you're saying. Compared to present countries, not the past, the US indeed is exceptionally violent, especially given the wealth in the country. *…
Absolutely, I myself am obviously procrastinating right now, I know it doesn't exactly help me achieve my goals for today, yet here I am, replying to you instead of doing the work I should :) The problem I see is that…
I had no intention to offend, sorry if I came across like that. But this is actually illustrative to the point at hand: Neither in my family nor in my whole social environment do I know a single religious person, yet…
As gods obviously don't actually exist[0], this is just a reframing of the idea that humans give meaning to their own existance. [0] Don't want to start a flamewar here, but there are so many contradicting ideas of god…
That's how humans think, we often can't fathom abstract ideas directly at all. Consider the idea of "time". We only think of time as movement in space, with either us moving or the time moving. I left that experience…
What you've written is indeed obvious, but IMO that wasn't the point of the article. Consider this quote: "Consider what happens when you’re thirsty and drink a glass of water. The water takes about 20 minutes to reach…

France didn't really build new plants either, the existing plants are just as old as Germany's. The one big new project under construction, Flamanville, is already way over budget, more expensive than renewables - even…
The article has the answer to your question: There was no lens, just a pinhole. The lens and filter system gets integrated "over the next few months". They tested the sensor array, not the lens.
> Civ6 feels like a bad design problem. Definitely! Multiple core mechanics are downright broken. Religion for example is a complete waste of time, as it has practically zero consequences outside of the mechanic itself.…
Well, Nvidia invented CUDA, it's no surprise that they won't give up their competitive advantage by properly supporting OpenCL or SYCL. Edit: Also, SYCL should be supported by most things already supporting OpenCL, like…
Perhaps Civ6 just isn't your thing, but your experience could also be exactly what Sid Meier describes: You have to grasp the different mechanics to get to the fun, strategic part of the game - which takes a while. Like…
The company can pay you anything between the legal minimum and the marginal product of your labor. As the labor market can never be perfectly competitive (i.e. an econ 101 textbook market), there will always be an…
Marx didn't actually claim that labour should "get all the profits" - in fact he went to great lengths to explain his criticism of the contemporary socialist movement for demanding that (in Capital, Volume 1). Instead…
